Swahili Coast

The Swahili Coast is a coastal area in Southeast Africa inhabited by the Swahilis. The Swahili Coast runs through Kenya, Tanzania, and Mozambique, and the coast also includes the islands of Zanzibar, the Comoros, and Pate. As a result of having a distinct culture, economy, demography, religion, and geography, the Swahili Coast has seen secessionism. Major ports are Bagamoyo, Dar es Salaam, Malindi, Pangani, Quelimane, Sofala, and Tanga, and the Swahili Coast's wealth in ports allowed for it to have trade with the Arabian Peninsula, Indian Subcontinent, and Southeast Asia.
